What if my bike is not listed?

  • With the above classes – not all motorcycles for each class can be listed due to the number of bikes eligible for each class. If the motorcycle you intend to race is not listed in the list above please email the committee and we will do our best to respond and clarify the class you and the motorcycle are eligible for in a timely manner.

How can I request a review of the class my motorcycle is currently in?

 

  • Requests should be in writing to the club and should be submitted with a reason why the change should be considered. This explanation should include researchable facts not just that someone thinks it’s not fair.
  • Requests can be made anytime during the racing season but results and points already accrued mid-season cannot be transferred between classes.
